Development of Expert System for Dental and Oral Diseases Diagnose in Certainty Condition

Abstract

Expert systems are used to solve problems based on the view of an expert. Expert systems are widely used in various fields, such as health. This study aims to create a web-based expert system that is used for the early diagnosis of dental and oral diseases through the initial symptoms that appear from the patient. In its implementation, this research used a descriptive qualitative method completed by collecting data and observation. While the development of expert systems using the prototype development method and the model of the expert system created using the Dempster Shafer method. The acquisition of knowledge about the symptoms of dental and oral diseases from experts is stored in a repository. The implementation of expert system models uses an object-oriented approach. In this study, the results to be achieved are a prototype design of an expert system application used as an initial diagnosis for ordinary users (patient) regarding dental and oral diseases in certain conditions. The initial symptoms suffered are feed-in into the expert system interface. Knowledge in the expert system is prepared and store into the system by a specialist in dental and oral disease.
